In February, WorldNetDaily was first to reveal the findings of a report which showed men, not women, are the real victims of sexual discrimination so virulent it is shortening their life spans, causing them to be self-destructive and suicidal, crippling their educational opportunities and destroying a generation of fatherless children. The research contained in the report was conducted by the New Hampshire Commission on the Status of Men, one of several state panels convened to re-evaluate assumptions about the role of men in society. And as WND also reported, the same panel blew the lid off so-called “paternity fraud.” The panel found as many as 30 percent of men paying child support were, indeed, not the biological fathers of the children being supported. The commission found that even men who later were able to prove they were paying support for the children of other men were sometimes still forced by courts and state agencies to keep paying.

Hawaii’s gas price controls, imposed when the cost of fuel was hovering around $3 a gallon in many parts of the U.S., actually triggered much higher costs for consumers, WorldNetDaily reported Feb. 19.

In January, WorldNetDaily was first to reveal NBC’s “The Book of Daniel” had been yanked from the network’s Friday night schedule. As WorldNetDaily also first reported, “The Book of Daniel,” written by a homosexual, was promoted as the only show on television in which Jesus appeared as a recurring character and the only network prime-time drama series with a regular male “gay” character, a 23-year-old Republican son. The main character, Daniel Webster, was a troubled, pill-popping Episcopal priest.

In January, WorldNetDaily reported on the apocalyptic religious zealotry demonstrated by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and how his mystical pre-occupation with the coming of a Shiite Islamic messiah figure – the Mahdi – is raising concerns that a nuclear-armed Islamic Republic could trigger the kind of global conflagration he envisions will set the stage for the end of the world.
